Summary: Because Jim Kirk is Jim Kirk, it's hard to tell when he is more than just attracted to someone. From personal experience, Lt. Uhura has come up with 10 signs to look for, to see if your captain may just be in love with your boyfriend.

Pairing: Disintegrating S/U to become S/K with K&U and S&U friendship

Companion piece to "10 Signs Your Boyfriend Is In Love with Your Captain."

Pon Farr hits and Jim can't stay away. Full of confidence (and more than a little horny) he strolls right into Spock's quarters to help his lover through this rough patch, because who but him can handle a sex-crazed Vulcan? But what he didn't expect was to get caught in the fires so completely...

Basically a handful of chapters full of hard, steaming Pon-Farr-sex. Occassionaly agressive, slight dub-con, possible dom/sub, top/bottom varies, but all in all sex-fluff. You are hereby warned!

A situation where Spock is in the early stages of pon farr, and Jim helps him take a cold water bath to try and alleviate some of the fever already coursing through him. Spock wonders at why this man should love him like he does, and Jim comes up with a very creative, totally logical answer. Post-TMP. Spock's second pon farr and they haven't had sex yet.

Spock hasn't been the same since the events on Vulcan. Kirk tries to break through Spock's stupor. McCoy misinterprets events. Kirk is stuck trying to sort everything out while not allowing himself any leeway for human error.

I felt like it was time to do it old-school and get back to TOS. It will help if you know the episode "The Deadly Years," but if you don't I included a synopsis in the opening paragraph. I also reference "Amok Time," Journey to Babel," and "A Private Little War," sort of a boxed set of TOS episodes.

Pon Farr hits Spock's HOT body while he and Jim are trying to discreetly make it home to safety aboard Enterprise...

It took me nearly a whole day to figure out what one of the people who sent me feedback meant, because English is not their first language. I couldn't speak their language at all, so I won't moan. I think they were going on about me not using speech marks. Well, that's because the conversation isn't vocalised. It's through touch telepathy. I know there is an argument to say that it should still be surrounded by speech marks, but, how then, would you tell the difference between the out-loud talking, and the communicating via joined minds/thinking? If I could get the options/formatting in the text box to recognise 'Italicised' segments, I would - Yet, can I do that without having to go through my whole story when it's in the text box??

Developed from a post I saw on Tumblr about the rights of Vulcan women after their spouse 'wins' their agreement to marry him/her as a result of being the victor in a Plak Tow fight - the Plak Tow fight; the kal-i-fee.

On an AU Tarsus, rescue never came. In the throes of pon farr, Spock hires a prostitute. But what Jim is concealing about his present life will change Spock in ways he cannot imagine.
